Pre-mission InSights on the interior of Mars

SE Smrekar, P Lognonné, T Spohn, WB Banerdt… - Space Science …, 2019 - Springer
Abstract The Interior exploration using Seismic Investigations, Geodesy, and Heat Transport
(InSight) Mission will focus on Mars' interior structure and evolution. The basic structure of …

Seismic detection of the martian core

SC Stähler, A Khan, WB Banerdt, P Lognonné… - Science, 2021 - science.org
Clues to a planet's geologic history are contained in its interior structure, particularly its core.
We detected reflections of seismic waves from the core-mantle boundary of Mars using …

Samples collected from the floor of Jezero Crater with the Mars 2020 Perseverance rover

JI Simon, K Hickman‐Lewis, BA Cohen… - Journal of …, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
The first samples collected by the Mars 2020 mission represent units exposed on the Jezero
Crater floor, from the potentially oldest Séítah formation outcrops to the potentially youngest …

A geophysical perspective on the bulk composition of Mars

A Khan, C Liebske, A Rozel, A Rivoldini… - Journal of …, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
We invert the Martian tidal response and mean mass and moment of inertia for chemical
composition, thermal state, and interior structure. The inversion combines phase equilibrium …

The thermal state and interior structure of Mars

AC Plesa, S Padovan, N Tosi, D Breuer… - Geophysical …, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
The present‐day thermal state, interior structure, composition, and rheology of Mars can be
constrained by comparing the results of thermal history calculations with geophysical …

Tidal response of Mars constrained from laboratory‐based viscoelastic dissipation models and geophysical data

A Bagheri, A Khan, D Al‐Attar… - Journal of …, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
We employ laboratory‐based grain size‐and temperature‐sensitive rheological models to
describe the viscoelastic behavior and tidal response of terrestrial bodies with focus on …

Atmosphere/mantle coupling and feedbacks on Venus

C Gillmann, P Tackley - Journal of Geophysical Research …, 2014 - Wiley Online Library
We investigate the coupled evolution of the atmosphere and mantle on Venus. Here we
focus on mechanisms that deplete or replenish the atmosphere: atmospheric escape to …

Water storage capacity of the martian mantle through time

J Dong, RA Fischer, LP Stixrude, CR Lithgow-Bertelloni… - Icarus, 2022 - Elsevier
Water has been stored in the Martian mantle since its formation, primarily in nominally
anhydrous minerals. The short-lived early hydrosphere and intermittently flowing water on …

Constraints on the depth and thermal vigor of melting in the Martian mantle

J Filiberto, R Dasgupta - Journal of Geophysical Research …, 2015 - Wiley Online Library
Studies of rocks in Gale Crater and clasts within the Martian meteorite breccia Northwest
Africa (NWA) 7034 (and paired stones) have expanded our knowledge of the diversity of …

[HTML][HTML] Investigating the feasibility of an impact-induced Martian Dichotomy

HA Ballantyne, M Jutzi, GJ Golabek, L Mishra… - Icarus, 2023 - Elsevier
A giant impact is commonly thought to explain the dramatic contrast in elevation and crustal
thickness between the two hemispheres of Mars known as the “Martian Dichotomy”. Initially …
